Face To Face
Todd Edwards Daft Punk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's going on? Could this be my understanding?
It's not your fault I was being too demanding
I must admit, it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different

There's not much I know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face

I turned away 'cause I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget, until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I realized you weren't wrong, was a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved




It's not hard to go the distance
When you finally get involved face to face

Overall Meaning

In Todd Edwards' interpretation of Daft Punk's "Face to Face," the lyrics delve into themes of perspective and self-reflection. The opening lines immediately capture the sense of confusion that the singer is feeling. They seem to be at a crossroads, questioning what is happening and how they have played a part in creating a situation that is less than desirable. They acknowledge that they may have been too demanding, leading to feelings of distance and isolation.


However, as the song progresses, the singer begins to recognize that their fears are clouding their vision. They admit that there is not much they know about the other person, and the unknown can be a source of terror. But, by facing their fears, they come to realize that the answer has been right in front of them all along.


The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that it is amazing what you will find when you confront someone face to face. That sometimes, it takes having to hit rock bottom to realize the truth. The truth in this case is that the other person was not the problem, and in fact, they are critical in resolving the current situation. The singer notes that it is not hard to go the distance once they have become more involved and have gained some depth of understanding of the other person.


Overall, Todd Edwards' interpretation of "Face to Face" touches on the importance of honesty, self-reflection, and perspective. It highlights the value of confronting difficult situations head-on and recognizing one's own faults.
